Mr Zuckerberg demonstrates beyond question that he is a political/intellectual bumpkin! He built his search for dates into a ‘Brand’ that is Facebook. He had help. But to say that the ‘opioid crisis‘ and technology are the causes of America’s divisions is the pronouncement of a either a fool or a knave! He is utterly clueless as to the fact that America needs a New-New Deal in answer to the collapsed Neo-Liberal swindle, and that the Civil War never ended, but is still in stalemate. And the abandoned Reconstruction is the great unfinished business, of the once noble/ignoble (take your pick) American Experiment. And that the American Empire must be dismantled in the name of both Justice and Peace.

The rise of Mr Zuckerberg, as some kind of possible answer, to the stark object lesson of Trump and Trumpism, is demonstrative of not just the failure, but the corruption of the whole of America’s Political Class, New Democrats and Republicans!
